1Is this a trick question? I dont even know where to begin. Stack sizes? Action on all relevant streets? Search for how to determine the winning hand on this site. – Toby Booth Aug 20 '16 at 23:43

I'm a novice, I just thought my hand was a better winning hand. I'll take a look. Thank you. – Paul Aug 21 '16 at 08:30

Did you happen to be all-in for 500? As you can only win the amount of your stack from each opponent. So if the opponent went all-in for 7,500 and you call with only 500:
If he wins the hand: He will win 8k
If you win the hand: You will win 1k (2 x 500), he will take back the extra 7k
